The Board of Directors approved the Public Parking Authority of Pittsburgh to move forward with negotiations with the Davis Companies to replace an existing garage at Ninth Street and Penn Avenue downtown. The new parking lot garage is envisioned to be part of a larger mixed-use development.

Executive Director David G. Onorato said the replacement building will have at least 700 authority-owned spaces for public parking with a major condominium and retail component.

"Beyond our public parking garage, the structure's ultimate size and function will be determined in concert with the Davis Companies and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, who owns the adjoining property. We look forward to furthering our mission of delivering affordable public parking while contributing redevelopment of the Cultural District."Onorato said.
